It's been some time since I updated this gallery. In the interim, I've begun to develop my skills with macro shots of flowers and experimenting with light. The colors and shapes never cease to amaze me.

Calavera > I've gotten a number of comments asking..."What is this?" While it has a bit of a prehistoric/insect feels to it...its a Borage flower. Note the following comments from Wikipedia...Borage (Borago officinalis L.), also known as "starflower" (گل گاوزبان in Persian) is an annual herb originating in Syria, but naturalized throughout the Mediterranean region, as well as most of Europe, North Africa, and Iran. It grows to a height of 60-100 cm (2-3 feet), and is bristly or hairy all over the stems and leaves; the leaves are alternate, simple, and 5-15 cm (2-6 in) long. The flowers are small and normally blue, although they may be pink or white, with five narrow, triangular-pointed petals. It has an indeterminate growth habit allowing it to produce many seeds which may lead to prolific spreading. In milder climates, borage will bloom continuously for most of the year.
